How are items priced? The staff at Artiques, LLC sets prices. Consigned items are kept in the store for 60 days. Artiques may discount items up to 20% during the contract time.

What item conditions are acceptable? Items approved for consignment must be cleaned and in good working order. Any defects must be disclosed at drop-off. Sometimes furniture, especially upholstered pieces, may be accepted in less-than-perfect condition if the staff feels it has a good overall look or it is something we feel is worth restoration. In that case, the pieces will be sold "as-is" or as "bones." A charge of $25 per hour will be assessed if items require substantial cleaning or polishing.

How to Consign? Large items and furniture require photographs submitted prior to approval. Pictures can be delivered to the store or emailed to us at: info@artiquesaz.com.

What do you take on consignment? Well made classic furnishings from very traditional to mid-century do very well. Original artwork or signed and number prints are preferred, but exceptions are occasionally made. Unusual pottery and sculpture are in demand. Western, Native American and Mexican items.

What items are not acceptable? Furniture constructed of particle board or MDF. We are sorry, but we do not accept most IKEA furniture for consignment.
